The three suspects entered the 22-year-old victim’s vehicle on Wednesday at approximately 4:30 a.m. The first suspect entered through the passenger door and put a knife to the victim’s abdomen, while the second suspect sat behind the victim and restrained him by holding his neck, according to police.

The first suspect then removed $350 in cash from the center console as well as the victim’s iPhone, the NYPD said.

The victim was parked in front of 32-02 36th Ave., near the intersection of 36th Avenue and 32nd Street.

The first suspect is described as a black male last seen wearing a red hat and black hoodie. Police released a photo of this suspect.

The second and third suspects are only described as male and female, respectively.

Police are asking anyone with any information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.

Sounds scary! Look behind you and lock your car doors immediately after entering your vehicle especially at 4:30 in the morning. I am sure they must of followed this guy to his car. With so many places staying open so late in Astoria and visitors, you can not be suspicious of everyone but at least you are aware of your surroundings. The victim also had $350 dollars in his car..I wonder where he was going or coming from.

Probably need to check out the videos from Melrose Ballroom on 33 St off 36 Ave and the hip hop club on 34 St and 36 Ave.
These places need to lose their liquor licenses.

I wonder if the victim was from the neighborhood or just visiting?

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
